*✝ Exodus 8:28*

"And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me."

God had sent Moses to command Pharaoh: “Let my people go.”Pharaoh resisted but after pressure from plagues, he begins to offer compromises 

In this verse, Pharaoh says  “You can go worship… but don’t go too far.”

The enemy’s wants people to compromise.

Pharaoh represents Satan who doesn’t mind partial obedience, as long as you don’t fully surrender to God. He says,“You can go to church… but don’t leave your old ways.” “Pray… but don’t become too committed.”  

 “Serve God… but don’t separate from sin.”Beware that compromise looks like freedom but still keeps you under control.

Remember that God Demands full Obedience God’s call was clear: total separation on from Egypt (the world system).  

You can’t worship God in Egypt you must come out.  

True worship requires distance from bondage, sin, and compromise.

2 Corinthians 6:17“Come out from among them and be ye separate…”Don’t stay close to what God delivered you from.Pharaoh said, “Don’t go very far…”  

Many Christians want to follow God but still stay close to past habits or ungodly relationships.  

Freedom in Christ means breaking away completely and not looking back like Lot’s wife.

Pharaoh wanted blessings (Moses to pray for him) but didn’t want to surrender to God. Many want God’s help, but not His rule.  

God wants our hearts  not just our request 

Don’t accept what Pharaoh(satan) wants us do ,not even to make a compromise.  

Go all the way with God. Don’t stay near Egypt when God has called you to the  promised land.y

Choose full deliverance, full obedience, and full surrender.May God help us to do the right thing when time is still on us.

Ever felt worthless or like you don't fit in? Mephibosheth, the crippled one, knew that feeling. But God saw him as a precious jewel, worthy of a place at the King's table. Same with us - God's love for us isn't based on our achievements or how the world sees us. He loves us because of who He is. Keep loving Him, stay loyal, and you'll qualify for the table of grace. "GOD LOVES YOU" - that's the message. 🙏🏼 #SeasonOfPrayerAndCommitment  - Salvationist online

Zimbabwe Council of Churches Christmas Message...

Zimbabwe Council of Churches Christmas Message...

Local   December 18, 2025

 

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) has extended warm Christmas greetings and end-of-year blessings to Zimbabweans, calling on the nation to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and to embrace peace, humility and love.

In its Christmas message, the ZCC reminded believers and the nation at large of the significance of the birth of Jesus Christ, drawing from the words of the prophet Isaiah: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… and he shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

“As we come to the end of another year and gather to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches extends warm Christmas greetings and end-of-year blessings to all our member churches, ecumenical partners, people of goodwill, and the nation of Zimbabwe at large,” the Council said.

The ZCC emphasised that Christmas is not merely a festive season, but a powerful reminder of God’s deep involvement in human life. “Christmas proclaims the profound truth that God enters human history, not in power or privilege, but in humility, vulnerability, and love,” the statement said.

The Council encouraged Zimbabweans to allow the message of Christmas to shape their attitudes and actions, especially in a context marked by economic hardship, social challenges and uncertainty. According to the ZCC, the birth of Christ offers hope, comfort and guidance, pointing people towards reconciliation, justice and compassion.

The churches also called on leaders, communities and families to be guided by the values embodied in Christ, the “Prince of Peace”, and to work together for the common good of the nation.

“As we celebrate this holy season, may the light of Christ bring healing to the broken, hope to the weary, and peace to our communities and our nation,” the ZCC said.

The Council concluded by wishing all Zimbabweans a peaceful Christmas and a blessed new year, rooted in faith, unity and renewed commitment to love and service.

Don’t Let Pain Kill Your Purpose

Topic: The Spirit of Potiphar’s Wife

Topic: The Spirit of Potiphar’s Wife

Daily teaching   December 17, 2025

 B

y Dorcas Moyo – Genesis 39:7–8

When Potiphar saw that Joseph was a faithful and hardworking servant, his wife began to notice his potential and started seeing him as a “quality boyfriend.” The Bible says, “Now Joseph was well-built and handsome” (verse 6). Then verse 7 continues, “After a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, ‘Come to bed with me.’” Oh my goodness—this woman!

This issue has caused serious problems in many homes and has even led some families to stop employing domestic helpers. In some households, fathers refuse to accept a maid brought home by the family. Others now look for helpers who are considered less attractive, because some men quickly turn a presentable maid into a nearby “girlfriend.” Oh dear! In some homes there are school leavers—young men who look like they might start trouble because they have developed feelings for “sister.” What exactly has the spirit of Potiphar’s wife done? Mothers, even in church, you find this spirit moving from seat to seat, from church member to gardener. Oh my! The spirit of Potiphar’s wife—may it leave people’s lives. Let us live uprightly.

Respect those who work in your homes. Give honor to those you work with. A girlfriend and a maid are not the same thing. Remember that you are taking someone else’s child into your care. A secretary is not a “company wife,” manager. Elder, be calm—a fellow passenger is not a travel wife. Pastor, be careful—girls in Praise and Worship and women in the church are not “incentive wives” for doing God’s work, do you hear? Control your eyes! Let me stop here—this message has touched many.

WHEN GOD DELAYS

Ever felt like God is ignoring your cries for help? The enemy might even laugh, thinking you've been abandoned. But remember the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? The soldiers who threw them into the fire were consumed by the flames, while the three faithful men emerged unscathed.

God's timing is not our timing. Delays don't mean denial. Hold on to faith, even when it seems like He's not listening. He's ever in control, working behind the scenes to bring about a greater purpose. Don't laugh at someone's struggles; you never know the power of God at work in their life. 🙏🏼

 WORDS OF LIFE 

Monday 15 December

ISAIAH 9:1-7

A child is born

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (v 6)

I WAS once offered the opportunity to attend a performance of Handel's 

Messiah at St Paul's Cathedral in London, at the commencement of Advent. The cathedral choir was performing along with a London orchestra and guest soloists. It was a truly wonderful occasion. We had very good seats, just five or six rows from the front. The music was superb and the occasion unforgettable.

The climax of the evening for me came, following a tension-growing build-up, with the breathtaking, famous 'Hallelujah' chorus. Tradition now requires that the audience stands for this chorus, but it was the middle section of the chorus that was the absolute climax – 'The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ'. Every reason to jump up, shout and clap, and declare 'Hallelujah' over and over again.

Isaiah's prophecy of a coming Wonderful Counsellor and Mighty God is expressed beautifully in the 'Hallelujah' chorus. Handel composed Messiah in just 24 days, surviving on very little sleep and barely eating. While he was writing the 'Hallelujah' chorus, at one point Handel was discovered by his servant with tears in his eyes, exclaiming, 'I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself seated on His throne, with His company of Angels'.17

As we move through this Advent season, let us hold fast to the thought that, in the birth of Jesus, the kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our God and of his Christ. The world changed in that moment, and we have the opportunity to celebrate it again this year. We move towards the day that we celebrate the Messiah's birth, recognising again that we worship a world-changing, life-giving, inspiring Saviour – the Christ. HALLELUJAH!
